Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Latest Jun 2, 2009
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

JUST SO HAPPENED WHEN WE PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY MY WIFE SAID THE BRAKES WENT OUT AND I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. I DUMPED MY SEWER AND WENT TO PULL UP INTO MY NORMAL PARKING PLACE AT MY PLACE OF RESIDENCE AND I HAD NO BRAKES AND ALMOST RAN INTO MY GARAGE. I PUMPED THEM SEVERAL TIME AND MANAGED TO STOP. A HOLE HAD RUSTED THROUGH IN ONE SPOT WHERE AN OFFSET WAS BENT IN THE BRAKE LINE AND WHILE REPAIRING I FOUND ANOTHER SPOT RIGHT NEXT TO IT THAT I PUSHED A HOLE IN IT WITH MY POCKET KNIFE. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE WE HAD JUST CAME FROM A 200 MILE TRIP. *TR
